My Fence and My Neighbor

 

My Fence & My Neighbor - 2018

The latest CD from Cosy Sheridan and Charlie Koch -  seven songs written by Cosy, and four by Charlie. Cosy wrote the title track in the weeks after the January 2017 presidential inauguration - when she was experiencing a need for connection and community despite having built a fence to protect her privacy. “When the neighbors first moved in, I”m the one who built the fence… We are living in interesting times / the sky falls every day… This morning I don’t need my fence; I need my neighbor on the other side." A video of the song received 30,000 views in a matter of days. 

“We Plow In The Rain”, was inspired by a return to The Kerrville Folk Festival last spring. Cosy watched the songwriting competition - and sat down afterward with one of the contestants who did not win.  “Here in this world we plow in the rain /  we toil in the field to gather whatever will grow, / and I know your father was right / this might be the hard way.”

Cosy and Charlie met in 2012 when Charlie was Cosy’s songwriting student at a music camp. Cosy gave him a cd at the end of the week - and Charlie gave her a kiss goodnight.  They started playing music together soon after that, and now Charlie tours with Cosy as her bass player.  

Charlie spent much of his career as a professional horseman. He says it taught him the value of listening and staying present: good skills for a musician. Charlie’s songwriting is deeply personal - often looking back at life’s passages. In “Missing My Children”, he remembers the pain experienced by many after a divorce: missing events in his children’s life: “I’ve been talking with ghosts in the attic/ they are tattered and frayed, moth-eaten with age/ why is being here again/ supposed to heal the pain”.

 

     

Sometimes I Feel Too Much

 

Sometimes I Feel Too Much - 2017

In Sometimes I Feel Too Much, Cosy weaves deeply felt experiences from her own life into finely crafted musical tapestries, connecting the personal to the universal, and inviting us to a deeper experience of our own lives.

     

 
 

Pretty Bird - 2014

"This collection of songs was written on the journey my life took from 2012 to 2014: the ending and loss of my long-time partnership with TR Ritchie; finding a new life and love; moving back to New England; and then in December 2013, learning that TR was ill with pancreatic cancer. In many ways, TR begins and ends this song cycle: the first song I wrote was The First Song."
- Cosy

 

     

 

The Horse King - Waterbug Records, 2011

"You can't make it into double digits, and continue touring for twenty or so years, unless you know what you're doing, and do it well. Rarely do you find a CD where every song is memorable. It happens, just not often. It happens here."
- Gary Tuber, The Chicago Examiner
     

 

Eros - Windriver Records, 2008

"Eros is a complete dozen song cycle that explores the nature of contemporary woman and their lives as reflected in the age-old mythology...It might take Dr. Freud to divine all the nuances contained in this fascinating album."
-  Rich Warren, Sing Out Magazine
